DARPA Examines Upgrading Biomass Waste Into Strategic Materials
Every year, gigatons of biomass from agricultural and forestry residues are discarded worldwide. This waste is rich in lignin – an energy-dense but difficult-to-process molecule that gives plants their structure.
Three California Counties Work Together to Promote Biomass Utilization
Placer, Nevada, and El Dorado counties in California have been part of a pilot partnership under the Cal FRAME initiative to address barriers to statewide biomass removal. These three partner counties have engaged with water districts, cities, special districts, fire safe councils, tribes, utilities, NGOs, and others to research and develop coordinated solutions to biomass removal challenges in the tri-county region.

Seaturns Launches the World’s First Pre-Commercial Offshore Wave Energy Project in Mauritius
French company Seaturns, a wave energy technology developer announces the launch of its first pre-commercial offshore project in Mauritius Island.
Seaturns has been selected as a winner of the NSEPCRET Round 3 call for projects (National Scheme for Emerging Project Concepts Based on Renewable Energy Technologies), led by the Mauritius Renewable Energy Agency (MARENA). This scheme aims to support innovative renewable energy technologies and provides a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Central Electricity Board (CEB), the national utility of Mauritius.
In its first phase, the project involves the installation of a 2 MW array of wave energy converters connected to the Mauritian electricity grid, to demonstrate the industrial performance and reliability of Seaturns technology under real operating conditions.
Depending on the performance achieved during this pilot phase, an additional 8 MW might be deployed, bringing the total capacity of the wave energy farm to 10 MW.
This project contributes to the diversification of Mauritius’ energy mix, as promoted by the Mauritian Government, and to strengthening security of electricity supply in the context of the country’s energy transition and economic growth.
RTX’s Hybrid-Electric Plane is One Step Closer to the Sky
The intricate web of cables, hoses and wires waited in a test cell at a Pratt & Whitney Canada facility on the outskirts of Montreal. In a control room nearby, about a dozen people – some of whom had worked on the system for years – gathered and watched. With the click of a mouse, the power began flowing to their creation.
Renewable Ethanol is Essential to EU Energy Security Says ePURE
The outbreak of war in the Middle East is yet another reminder of how important and urgent it is for Europe to secure its energy supply and end its dependence on imported fossil oil. Renewable fuels such as bioethanol offer a ready-made, homegrown solution, but EU policies need to be better at unleashing their potential.
Quaise Energy Supports Oregon State University Work to Transform Clean Energy With Geothermal Technology
Quaise Energy has given $750K to Oregon State University to support geothermal research. The gift, made through the OSU Foundation, will help OSU scientists who aim to recreate in the lab the conditions found miles underground common to the superhot rock which, if tapped, could power the world, according to Carlos Araque, CEO of Quaise and a co-founder.
